need old pop electronics article
Hi,
I am looking for a copy of a construction article on a single compactron FM receiver. The article appeared in an 1961 issue of Popular Electronics. If anyone has the issue and would copy the article for me I would pay them for their trouble. Richard K1TAV |

I noticed recently that they are changing over to CD. I guess someone cold go in with a lap top and copy watever they wanted. |

Pete Do you remember or did you see the "high end" VHF receiver construction article that Popular Electronics ran a few years later? I think it was sort of modularized, so there was a tuneable or more likely fixed IF section, and then converters for the low band and the high band and maybe the aero band. It wasn't that spectacular a receiver, it might have had a tuneable local oscillator going into the first mixer and certainly the only selectivity came from IF transformers in the MHz range. But it certainly was more complicated than the run of the mill "police band" receiver construction articles that were described in the hobby electronic magazines. Michael VE2BVW |

Michael VE2BVW Hi Michael Probably not, as I was a young teen and picked up what I could afford at the local newstand. I guess the issue with that earlier compactron project was one of the ones I happened to buy. Sad to say, a Heath VF-1 provided the enclosure! Pete |
